240 Oil pressure questions

Jan 17, 2006 3 Replies

Hi folks,



Does anybody happen to know the thread size for the oil pressure switch? I want to install an oil pressure gauge and I need to buy the sender.



I already have the gauge, it reads from 0 to 3 bar, will this be adequate? (It is a genuine Volvo 240 gauge, so I'm assuming it will...)



Many thanks,



David


Just go to a junkyard and get a 3 bar sender from another 240, or a 5 bar sender and guage, the two have to be matched.

I installed one in my 245 I bought a dual one, it has a low pressure switch for the light and a sender for the gauge. You will also need an adapter M

14X1.5 to 1/8 NPT

the numbers on my sender is 360 009D (80PSI) and the adapter p/n is R7963
